11/11/2026Today, some of our Year 7 students took part in a SATRO skills workshop. SATRO is an educational charity, working with schools to help inspire and develop the aspirations of young people.
Today's workshop included coding to make a vehicle move and then pause, bridge building following a wordless instruction sheet, and sitting back-to-back with a partner to build the exact same tower using only descriptive words.
Using and honing their wonderful oracy, team work and problem-solving skills to reach the desired result, our Year 7 students did a fantastic job.

11/11/2026During tutor time in November, students have been busy creating paper poppies in preparation for our House Captains and Prefects to create beautiful and meaningful remembrance wreaths.
The art room was a hive of activity on Monday lunchtime as staff and students worked together to produce a wreath for each House.

11/11/2026Today, on Remembrance Day, we take time to remember the fallen.
We honour their memory by placing handmade poppy wreaths and coming together for a two-minute silence, followed by reading part of the following poem by Laurence Binyon:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

The focus, silence and concentration in the room were incredible to see. A huge well done to Mrs Whitmore-Harrison and the Year 7 team for making this happen.

Working with the school reception team, students were given real-world tasks to complete and conducted interviews with various support staff to find out about their career history and details of their role within Woolmer Hill School.

5/11/2026Today, our Year 7 students had the pleasure of meeting author Jennifer Killick. This incredible opportunity allowed our students to listen to Jennifer about her writing process and how the ideas for her children's horror fiction develop.
Author visits are a proven way to improve engagement with books and reading and the open and interested engagement from our students throughout the talk was wonderful to see.
Thank you Jennifer for coming to see us.
